BENGALURU: A Karnataka government circular on selecting students with knowledge of Hindi for a tour of Uttarakhand has sparked a "Hindi imposition" row, with the government clarifying there was no such direction either from the state or the Centre on the matter.
The contents of the purported circular which have gone viral state that, as part of "Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav" under "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat" initiative, a tour programme has been organised for students to other states, for which two pupils (a boy and a girl) from Bengaluru South district of Pre-University department have to be selected.
